The Making of Paithani Sarees: How Satika Sarees Preserves Royal Craftsmanship
Share
The process of weaving a Paithani is no less than poetry.
At Satika Sarees, every Paithani begins with raw silk yarn, metallic zari, and an artisan’s imagination. The traditional handloom method uses no machinery — only skill, rhythm, and patience.
Step-by-Step Weaving Process
Dyeing: Threads are dyed with natural pigments to achieve those iconic shades — peacock green, royal purple, and golden yellow.
Designing the Border and Pallu: The weaver draws the motifs manually, combining metallic and silk threads to create detailed imagery.
Weaving: Each weft thread is inserted by hand, forming motifs like peacocks and lotuses.
Finishing: Once complete, the saree is pressed, inspected, and finished with tassels — ready to be passed from generation to generation.
Satika Sarees supports these artisans by promoting genuine handloom techniques, ensuring this craft continues to thrive despite mass-produced imitations.
